We thought Tuc Watkins had the role of a lifetime as One Life to Live's madcap hedonist David Vickers. Turns out he's got an even greater role these days! Watkins will appear on the Hallmark Channel talk show Marie (Monday, April 29, noon/11c) and reveal for the first time that he's a gay single dad, telling host Marie Osmond that he recently welcomed twins Catchen and Curtis via surrogate.

The happily sleep-deprived star says the four-month-olds are just starting to giggle which "makes all those midnight feedings totally worth it."

Watkins, who will reprise his OLTL role when the soap reboots on the Internet April 29, is joined on Marie by his sister Courtney Watkins, a teacher and host of the Disney web series The Possibility Shop. The actor tells Osmond he was certain about three things when he was young: "I knew I was gay [and] I knew one day I was going to be a dad."

And the third? For the answer, check out this exclusive TV Guide Magazine clip!
